Supporting Artists
Throughout the summer, interns assisted visiting artists in the creation of site-specific installations, performances, and projects. From hands-on building to event production, the interns provided much needed support for the program - while working closely with professional artists.
Supporting Community Partners
The interns worked with local arts organizations in events and organizational support. Working directly with partners establishes new connections and opportunities - and it’s just a lot of fun.
Supporting The PASEO Festival
As we gear up for the annual festival, The PASEO, our interns get trained in the technology fueling the weekend. Interns work directly with visiting artists assisting in the installation and execution of the artwork. The weekend is our final push of the year, where the team is consolidated in their efforts to put on an amazing community festival - while have a blast doing it!
